Contend for the Faith Lyrics

Beloved ones, hear the call

The faith once given, guard it all

For wolves arise in sheep's disguise

Twisting truth with hollow lies

But we will stand, we will remain

Through trial, storm, and winds of shame

For He who called is strong and true

And He will bring us safely through

Oh, contend for the faith, hold the line

Lift up truth, let mercy shine

Build your life on Christ alone

For He will keep, He will hold

Like Cain they run, like Balaam's greed

They seek their gain, they plant their seed

The waves may crash, the stars may fall

But God's sure Word outlasts them all

Yet mercy speaks, so lift the weak

Snatch the lost from fire's reach

With love and fear, with hands so pure

Show the grace that makes them sure

Oh, contend for the faith, hold the line

Lift up truth, let mercy shine

Build your life on Christ alone

For He will keep, He will hold

The clouds will part, the Lord will rise

With holy ones, with flaming eyes

To judge the proud, to cleanse the land

Yet grace still calls with outstretched hands

Oh, contend for the faith, stand in light

He is coming in power and might

To Him be glory, now always

Forevermore, our voices raise

Now unto Him who keeps us strong

Who holds us firm, who rights our wrongs

Before His throne, with joy we'll stand

Blameless, holy, in His hands
